Following a wave of attacks on innocent citizens, the people of Yaw Kyeremakrom in the New Juaben South Municipality, Eastern Region, have decided to take severe action against drug dealers.
The safety and security of the neighborhood are seriously threatened by rumors that local thugs have been stealing people of their belongings.
Residents took matters into their own hands and invaded the notorious hiding places of the miscreants, led by Assemblyman Umar Issaka.
They chopped down the nearby trees and set these places on fire because they thought they would serve as cover for illicit activity.
The need to solve the situation urgently is highlighted by the terrifying experiences that victims of the robberies and attacks have shared with Adom News.
The serious threat that these criminal elements pose to the peace and prosperity of the area was highlighted by Assemblyman Umar Issaka.
He mobilized the locals to defend their neighborhood and take a stance against such pernicious actions.
The Police have stated that they will actively participate in ensuring the safety of the local population as well as the properties in the wake of the community’s actions.
